It is amazing what you can see with google's new mapping satellite images. I think they are in fact the same images they bought from keyhole. I wrote about this last year [inlink]paul,2328[/inlink].



You have to zoom in to see it

Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don.t help.

This is officially the sickest thing I ever saw. (e:maidencateyes), you will die when you read this.

I ran outside to check our car's parking situation and we got a $30 ticket. it sucks because we pay for offstreet parking but our landlord has not come through on that. Maybe we should stop paying rent until it is fixed. Our front neighbor simply parks in the driveway. Time to put an end to that. I am going to begin oparking there tomorrow. Maybe it will make him mad and then he will call the landlord.

(e:terry) also missed his plane. Another $100 and he is stuck in vegas. That sucks too. Maybe its time for bed! Portfolio = 20% done.

While compiling th eportfolio I came across all the old icons and decided to put them together in one image so that I can remember them as a group.



I really had fun making these. Here is my homage to jacob sanchez.

I have learned to channel my aggression into killing peeps. I have realized that peeps are my valium.

What is wrong with this. I have tried changing every single option in the vsftpd.conf and read about everything google has to offer about that VSFTP package and yet it is still so slow that smartftp won't even both connecting.

If that sonds familiar to anyone please feel free to contact me.

Now I feel a little better but I still hate DNS.

I am way over my head doing stuff I don't even care about. Like compiling apache, PHp and mysql and all the modules I wanted and phpmyadmin and a control panel was kind of fun. Then setting up ssh with logins was a little bit of a challenge but it was fine too.

Then came FTP. Well it wasn't working at all I got (e:ajay) to help me (thanks for helping me) but it is so fucking slow I can't even use it. Like most programs time out before it even logins in and then once it logs in it times out again. I searched online and tried to folow whatever instructions I could find about it being slow but I don't know if it is the server or the way the ftp was set up. I fear it is related to the DNS drama.

DNS
The DNS configuration was kind of working with BIND 8, then I upgraded to 9.2 and now nothing works for me.

If anyone understands how to set up a DNS server, please contact me or I am going to kill this site when the contract for the current locations ends this month. I would just pay for a server admin if I hadn't already threw $1000 at this.

First of all it is not worth the money - it now costs $40.00 month but it also def not worth all of my time. I have worked like 30 hours on this and I don't even have time to program anymore since the stupid crash move thing I have spent every waking minute compiling and installing. I pretty much just wanted to add the pdf and ming modules to PHP.

I hate to say this but next time I am definately picking a microsoft server because I can still run all of these fanctastic opesnource packages like php, mysql, and apache and not have to deal with the cryptic bullshit. What kills me is the attituide that the linux people in the forums have. I have not ever even posted a question because most of the time they are so mean to new people. I am totally put off by the whole thing. It would also be a lot different if it was on my own computer and not through some ssh prompt.

I mean I am a smart guy but I cannot teach myself how to be a server admin in terms of things like DNS overnight. It isn't like I am not reading hundreds of pages worth of manuals. I just don't understand the language they are speaking. At least I undestand how DNS works now if only I could understand how it is configured.

This is not even a fun project anymore. It makes me sick.

I just wanted to compile my own PHP, how did it get to be that I am trying to set up a DNS :(

In truth I am having a lot of fun compiling all the stuff I wanted

I didn't even end up using one rpm. Everything was configure, make, make install. It seriously took all night but worked without a hitch. MYSQL 4.1, PHP 5.0.3 , ming, Pspell, GD, Soap, XML, XMLRPC, IMA.
